New starters set the standard at FBEC
Year 7 students at Fer-ryhill Business and En-terprise College started at the School on Tuesday 9th September, proudly
wearing the school’s new uniform. The polo shirt and thick jumper has been replaced with a smart black blazer
and new school tie. Year 7 students who were interviewed said, “the blazer makes us feel more grown up”.Business Manager at the school, Mrs Edgar said, “The idea for a new uniform was initially proposed by older pupils at the school a few years ago. We are pleased that we have completed the changeover ready for the new academic year when the school celebrates its 50th year.”Whilst year 11 students are not required to wear the new uniform as they have only a few months remaining at school, many have opted to buy it. Mr Brennan, Headteacher said, “I am very pleased with the new uniform. Students looked very pro-fessional as they arrived at school this morning. It is credit to governors and the school’s student council for turning this idea into a reality in such a short space of time.”
Year 7 students: Freddie Cockburn, Ryan Dill, Sadie Fisher and Olivia Ball proudly showing off the new uniform.

School celebrates 50 years of education with record results
Ferryhill Business and En-terprise College again cel-ebrated record GCSE results this year. At a time when schools across England have seen pass rates in English fall, Ferryhill has seen a rapid increase, and now 76% of students achieve the gold standard A*-C grades, which places the school well above the national average. Maths has seen similar record breaking rises, with 72% of students achieving a C+ grade in the subject.Headteacher, Kevin Brennan said, “The results
are excellent and will hope-fully show Ferryhill to be one of the most improved schools in England”. He added, “The school is going from strength to strength. Great results are a reflection that all aspects of the school are on the up.”Stephanie Johnson, Head of More Able students at the college paid tribute to some outstanding achievements, with Rachael Farley, Melissa Harker, Amy Hopper, Reece Roberts, Tenielle Walmsley, Caitlin Williams and Jordyn Williams achieving over 62
A and A* grades between them.Mr Freeman, Head of Achievement at the college said, “That the results rep-resent another step change. In additional to real success with students achieving C grades, students at the school also achieved over 415 GCSEs at the very highest grades A*, A or B”.“As a specialist Business college the school is also particularly pleased with Business Studies results, with around half of the 43 students achieving A or A* grades”
Chris Palin and Jordan French receiving their results.

County Durham has been chosen to pilot a new campaign that aims to find families for children in the area that are waiting to be adopted.There are 220 children in the North East that are waiting for a loving home. The new campaign will encourage people in the North East to consider adoption by bringing to life what it means to have children through stories of family life that reflect real adopters’ experiences.The campaign – which is backed by the national adoption information service, First4Adoption – will run until the end of this week, with adverts featur-ing in local newspapers,
County Durham chosen to pilot new adoption campaign
online and on local radio.Gemma Gordon-Johnson, Head of Service at First4A-doption, said: “We want this campaign to mark a new era in the recruit-ment of adopters. In recent years, there have been important improve-ments in the adoption system that has made it easier to place children with families as quickly as possible. But there is still more to be done. We need more people in the North East and beyond to come forward and start their adoption story if the needs of all children, for who adoption is the best option, are going to be met.”The pilot is taking place in the North East and the
East of England. Following it, the adverts and other resources will be devel-oped and made available to all adoption agencies in England. John Simmonds, Director for Policy Research and De-velopment at British Asso-ciation for adoption & Fos-tering (BAAF), said: “With more adopters needing to be recruited, especially for siblings, older and disabled children, these new re-sources will be a great asset to adoption agencies to help them find perma-nent and loving homes for these vulnerable children.”If you are interested in adopting a child, visit first4adoption.org.uk or call 0300 222 0022.
Carl Nattrass an amateur writer from Chilton has recently published his first book entitled ‘Under an Iron Sun’. Carl works full-time for Ideal Caravan Sales in Langley Moor as an I.T. run-about, and likes to write in his spare time for a hobby.Under an Iron Sun is set in 1930's North Africa and the Mediterranean, and amidst the national distrust, global posturing and im-provised spying of the
major powers, Leon, an office worker, is accused of spying and is forced to go on the run to clear his name. It is a fast paced novel in a genre which will interest both espio-nage and WW2 fans.Currently the book is available at £1.99 on the Amazon and Kindle stores and a paper-back copy will be available in the near future.

Ferryhill Business and En-terprise College starts the school year with a new look due to improvements on the front of the main building.Headteacher, Kevin Brennan said, “The front of the school needed substantial
repairs and the first phase of the upgrades are a step in the right direction”.The school is keen not to rest on its laurels and is still fighting to bring in ad-ditional funding to further improve the site. He added, “At the end of
the last academic year the school were recommended by the Local Author-ity for further substantial upgrades as part of a bid to central government. If suc-cessful, the proposal could bring over a million pounds of additional investment”.

Trying to sell me this time.I do not really need them,
The ones I have are just fine!Solar panels now that’s what you need
If I start going down that road where will it lead?
Loft insulation is more than completeThere’s enough insulation to fill the street!
Ring! Ring! Ring!There’s a call for me.
I’m sitting down to have my tea.I jump up quick and I bang my knee.
Whose going to accept liability?I settle down for a good night’s sleep
But at 3.30am what do I hear?The phone is ringing loud and clear.
I get out of bedThen the phone is dead
The number’s withheld when I ring 1471.Isn’t life great when you’re having fun.

In the final league game of the 2014 cricket season, Mainsforth 1st XI travelled to Crook Town, where Crook achieved the victory they were looking for in order to avoid rele-gation. Batting first Mains-forth never really got to grips with the conditions, with their innings closing on 130 all out. Crook reached their target losing 7 wickets to give them a 3 wicket victory. One bright moment in the game came when Mainsforth’s under
Ferryhill Celtic travelled to Hetton at the weekend in defence of the cup they won last year, the Alan Smith Memorial Trophy.They were up against an inform Lumley who were sitting top of their division. After a mix-up in the box Lumley took an early lead, but thereafter the game belonged to the Celtic who were back on level terms when captain Neil Bell hit a shot on the turn finding the bottom corner. The Celtic nearly took the lead when No 9 Luke Thompson fired
15 skipper Ryan Dawson bowled Crook opener and former 1st class cricketer Andrew Pratt. This result gave Mainsforth a 7th place finish in the 14 team Durham Cricket League 1st division. After the match, captain Andrew Allen thanked players, supporters and the club management committee for their help and support during the season. The Mainsforth 2nd XI had a comfortable home victory against Crook 2nd
in a cracking shot from 30 yards, but the keeper made a fantastic save. The Celtic were in full control, with Mark Burnett going close just before the break, but the score remained 1 – 1 at half time.The 2nd half saw the Celtic playing their best football of the season, with Neil Bell scoring his 2nd goal with a header on 60 minutes. It was 3 – 1 when the majestic Jay White danced past a couple of defenders, only to be brought down in the box

Updates at significant stages of the project will be published in The Chapter.
for a penalty, which inform Luke Thompson made no mistake.With Celtic rampant, it was 4 – 1 after 75 minutes when the relentless John Makepeace put the ball into the net after a won-derful 4 man move.The performance was complete when Marco Linhart scored the goal of the game when he broke into the box and coolly chipped the keeper to make the final score 5 – 1. Man-of-the-Match Jay White.
